i don`t have the skills for this and i don`t understand, why hpa forwarded discussion to lkml at this early stage, as it is a patch primary meant for the ubuntu kernel to adress an ubuntu specific problem.
sure it is not perfect and not the optimal way to proceed, but it is a solution to a problem. we wouldn`t have this problem and we wouldn`t have this patch if there wasn`t the discision to drop support for non-pae kernels. so hopefully the ubuntu kernel maintainers will give a comment on this patch or pick it up to make a version which fulfils kernel code- quality/style or patch-submission requirements. this patch is rather unintrusive and it easily solves a problem for many users. i spend many hours on debugging this issue and developing this patch, so for now please understand that i`m done with it. lkml reference: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=138550884425543&w=2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
